 Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 1:01 am Post subject: No reboot on my notebook |
 |
|
Hi,
I have an HP-Compaq NC4200 notebook (Pentium 4 M, ICH6 chipset, i915
graphic chip, etc.) running Debian Lenny.
This system can only shutdown, and not reboot.
If I do "shutdown -r now" it terminates regularly all processes but it
ends up with:
Restarting system.
machine restart
and at this point it hangs on until I manually power it off with the
power switch.
The sysrq "alt-stamp-b" has no effect.
This happens with my 2.6.27.4 custom "vanilla" kernel as well as with the
official 2.6.26-1-686 Debian kernel.
Somewhere on the net I've read that some modules could prevent the system
from switching off, so I've tried going down at runlevel 1, then killing
all (killable) processes, and "modprobe -r" all modules, reaching this
situation:
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
ipv6 242788 8
processor 27824 1
thermal_sys 10976 1 processor
hwmon 2196 1 thermal_sys
intel_agp 25476 1
agpgart 28656 1 intel_agp
# ps ax
PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND

316 ? S< 0:00 [scsi_eh_0]
319 ? S< 0:00 [scsi_eh_1]
352 ? S< 0:00 [kjournald]
6269 tty1 Ss 0:00 init [S]
6270 tty1 R 0:01 bash
7479 tty1 R+ 0:00 ps ax
But the command "shutdown -r now" failed again, remaining stuck always at
same point...
The bios and the hardware should be fine, as the system can regularly
reboot under Windoze XP.
Anyone could please give me some hints?
Thank you in advance.

I have no notebook, but maybe this will help:

Whenever I had probs with shutdown command, loading apm module always did the
trick. (slackware on desktop)

I currently have all acpi modules but no apm modules.
Do you mean that I'd swich to apm instead of acpi?

No. Not needing acpi on a desktop, I have apm. I just thought that article
would shed some light on your prob. If not, keep digging is all I can say.

Hi,
for those having a similar problem, I solved it by simply appending
"reboot=b" to the kernel command line into /etc/lilo.conf.
Bye.
